Jim,
It sounds like you have a good reason to distrust drs.! That is
really scary. However, as you probably know from the posts on this list,
there are some fine physicians out there. It's like any other occupation or
profession, there are good ones and bad ones.
It seems to me that you need to see if your can find a doc you
trust who will help you with your muscle problems. It is hard going through
what you are going through without help.
